Abstract

This essay explores the body in translation in Arabic versions of Jane Eyre. In doing so, it focuses on three interpretations of the body: first, viewing Jane Eyre itself as a corpus which engenders more corpuses through translation across languages and genres; secondly, tracing the multiple Arabic renderings of the body’s name, ‘Jane Eyre’, in the context of naming and titling; and finally, through a focus on one material aspect of the body in the novel: touching.
